Yet another bumper idea from Poto-G
Has anyone tried a matte black or satin black treatment on the bumper alone? It might even look better with the bumperettes removed. The matte sheen will not make the bumper totally disappear, but it will be visually reduced.
I got the idea watching this. This guy painted the bumper/valence. I'm thinking just the bumper.

There's no way to be sure without trying, but maybe it will end up looking something like this:

Has anyone done a 2 tone 944? That might look good and hide the bumpers as well.

Krystar did a $50 paint job in black and white on his track/autocross 944.

Clearly, there are no more NEW ideas. This is exactly what I'm thinking about. Not sure I like it.

I really dont think this will look good. That sort of scheme only works on certain cars in my opinion. But it wouldnt hurt to try!!

Looks odd, IMO.

What troubles me the most is the lower valance cut-out between the fog lights. If that was straight across, it would look a lot better.

I cut that valence bar to get more air to the radiator.
